  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Limited Wednesday

    Sanders (back) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Sanders has been dealing with back tightness over the past two weeks, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that the Browns will monitor the Colorado product over the next couple of days to determine whether he can operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback in the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If Sanders is inactive, Bailey Zappe is likely to back up Dillon Gabriel.

  • Hendon Hooker QB | CAR

    Hendon Hooker: Cut from Carolina's practice squad

    The Panthers cut Hooker from the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

    Hooker joined the Panthers' practice squad in late August after being waived by the Lions at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the Panthers' active roster for their Week 8 clash against the Bills to serve as Andy Dalton's backup due to Bryce Young being sidelined with an ankle injury. With Young fully healthy and Dalton and Mike White also on the active roster, the Panthers are no longer in need of Hooker's services, but the 2023 third-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add a scout team quarterback.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Starting in Week 10

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Brissett will start at quarterback for Sunday's game in Seattle, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Following Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys, Gannon indicated that Kyler Murray (foot) would reclaim starting duties once fully healthy. However, just one day later, the coach told John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that Brissett would have been the team's Week 10 starter even if Murray was 100 percent recovered. That about-face leaves the door open for Brissett to retain the job on a more permanent basis after Week 10 based on how he performs in a tough matchup against the 6-2 Seahawks, as well as how much progress Murray makes in practice this week. In his previous three starts, Brissett has moved the ball effectively, completing 73 of 111 pass attempts (65.8 percent) for 860 yards (7.7 YPA) and a 6:1 TD:INT to go along with 49 rushing yards and another score.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Won't start Sunday

    Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon announced that Jacoby Brissett will start Sunday's game in Seattle instead of Murray (foot), Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    After Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys, Gannon suggested that Murray would return to the starting role once fully recovered from a mid-foot sprain that has sidelined him for three straight games. However, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM relays that Gannon appeared to do an about-face on those comments a day later during a radio appearance, with the coach noting that he made the decision to go with Brissett as his starter in Week 10 even if Murray was 100 percent healthy. The coach made no declarations on his plans at quarterback beyond Week 10, but if Brissett continues to lead the offense effectively in Seattle, he could retain the No. 1 job. Murray was a limited practice participant in Week 9 prep, and it's unclear how close he might be to fully putting the foot injury behind him. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Murray was initially provided estimated recovery timelines ranging from 4-to-8 weeks, but he's already missed the lower end of that range. Gannon also acknowledged that Murray could still be a candidate for injured reserve, despite Murray not being officially ruled out from serving as Brissett's backup or as an emergency No. 3 quarterback in Week 10.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Still in line to start

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys that Murray (foot) will remain the team's starting quarterback once fully healthy, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Jacoby Brissett was once again impressive Monday while filling in for Murray under center, leading Arizona to a primetime win while throwing for multiple scores for the third contest in a row. Brissett's performance has seemingly created a quarterback controversy in Arizona, though Gannon tried to end that chatter with a clear statement that Murray remains atop the depth chart. Murray has yet to record a full practice since suffering a mid-foot sprain, so it remains unclear if he'll be ready to return Week 10 against Seattle.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Shines in third straight start

    Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns while taking five carries for four yards and a third score in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Brissett continued to air the ball out while making his third straight start filing in for injured starter Kyler Murray (foot). Unlike his previous two outings, the veteran backup was able to secure victory for Arizona in an upset win on the road over Dallas on Monday Night Football. The 32-year-old Brissett is averaging 286.7 passing yards with a pair of touchdown passes thrown in each of his three spot-starts this year. Murray has been practicing in a limited fashion since Oct. 10, so Brissett's unexpected run of fantasy utility could come to an abrupt end if the former returns in Week 10. Managers should hang on to Brissett until an official announcement is made, as the journeyman's hot play could warrant starting consideration against the Seahawks on Sunday.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Constantly pressured in Week 9 loss

    Prescott completed 24 of 39 passes for 250 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding four rushes for 34 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

    Prescott took just two sacks against the Broncos in Week 8 but was pressured quite often in the loss, and the Cardinals then were much more successful getting home Monday night while racking up five sacks. The porous protection was particularly disappointing considering center Cooper Beebe returned from an ankle injury to anchor the Cowboys' offensive line, although Prescott was at least able to bounce back from the season-low-tying 188 yards he'd thrown for against Denver. The veteran signal-caller's one touchdown toss went to Ryan Flournoy from five yards out early in the fourth quarter, and Prescott's rushing yardage total qualified as a new season high. Prescott and his teammates will now have a Week 10 bye to regroup before returning to action with a Week 11 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Nov. 17.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Officially inactive again

    Murray (foot) is listed as inactive Monday at Dallas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Murray hasn't been able to upgrade to full participation in practice due to a mid-foot sprain that he initially suffered Week 5 against the Titans, and he'll now be sidelined for a third straight game while Jacoby Brissett continues to lead the Cardinals offense and Kedon Slovis serves as the backup. Murray's next chance for game action is this coming Sunday at Seattle.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: In line to be inactive Monday

    Murray (foot) isn't expected to play Monday at Dallas, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Murray thus is slated to miss a third consecutive game due to a mid-foot sprain, but how the Cardinals officially list him -- either the emergency third quarterback or inactive outright -- remains to be seen. In any case, Jacoby Brissett is poised to start in place of Murray for a third time this season.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Expected to move to IR

    Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Daniels sustained a dislocated elbow in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, and the Commanders expect the quarterback to be "out for a while, for sure," John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    According to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Daniels avoided any fractures to his non-throwing arm when he sustained a gruesome-looking injury when he was sacked midway through the fourth quarter of the blowout loss. The Commanders are still in the process of collecting more information on Daniels' injury, and Quinn anticipates that the team will have a clearer timeline for the signal-caller's return by Wednesday or Thursday. At this stage, the Commanders aren't ready to rule Daniels out for the season, but he appears to be a strong bet to be moved to injured reserve, which would keep him sidelined for at least four games. Marcus Mariota came on in relief of Daniels against the Seahawks and is in line to make his fourth start of the season in this Sunday's game versus the Lions.
